Gear 4

I've noticed the gears tend to work towards abilities to do with rubber. Thus far, Gear 2 has Luffy power up and fight somewhat like a power ball(increased speed and attack), whilst bouncing all over the place. Gear 3, has him inflate himself like a balloon…
what aspect of rubber is left to work with in gear 4?
-
Gear 4 = Gear 2+Gear 3 combined
-
I remember people saying Gear 4 might be a defensive technique. Ever here of vulcanized rubber?

@Sogeking:
When will people accept that One Piece was inspired by DBZ and therefore will have many similarities?
One Piece has more similarities to the "Dragonball" (First 16 volumes) part, rather than the "Z" part. The good thing about the Dragonball part was that there weren't any transformations.

I guess he'll just suck Sulfur from the air, huh?
-
I actually thought that was a good idea.
No kidding…. and I'd be lying if I didn't AT FIRST think so as well, but after seeing Gear 2 and 3, I'm sure Oda won't go to those uber-scientific ways of making Luffy stronger. One Piece "power-ups" are simple and ultimately practical (and usually a bit outrageous) - they're NEVER overly complicated. I doubt Oda would use a scientific theory to back any power-ups in One Piece.
Besides, you've obviously never thought that Luffy is already doing it. When his fists become ridiculously hard (enough to break Croc's blades), his body isn't always as elastic as a rubber band. His body is ALREADY as versatile as the rubber things we see all the time, viz. Hockey pucks, balloons, rubber bands. It ALREADY gets hard enough to compare with the effects of vulcanization.
I agree with Hermy... if there ever was to be a Gear 4. It would probably be a combo of 2 and 3.
-
If Gear 2 was speed, Gear 3 was power, then Gear 4 must be the one thing more useful than the former 2..
BRAINS.
It might help Luffy in his fights, i dunno.
-
he'll have long blond hair and no eyebrows… and hell also grow red fur and a tail...
-
do those features belong to any specific anime or game?
-
DBZ and DBGT i belive.
-
its funny to realize that no one reads threads all the way through
because pages 5 and 6 are almost identical copies of earlier pages…
-
hmm… lol? 16 lols?

I like that. Gear 4 - Brain.
What about Gear 4 makes him a rubber suit for someone else… Like Sanji wearing Luffy for a fight ....
-
people still talking about this Gear 4 thing? it probably won't happened.
-
Gear 4 is a rubber force field.
Or maybe he can shoot rubber at his opponents~
-

I hope it doesn't happen. It'll start feeling Dragon Ball, which isn't such a bad thing, but I really began to think Dragon Ball was quiet repetitive by the end of the series. Oda will hopefully find new ways for Luffy to get stronger.

Luffy's rubber band of Doooom!!!!!!!
-
If there's a Gear 4 than I lost all hope for the crew. That would just show that Luffy is leagues above everyone else in fighting.
-
I don't think there will be a Gear 4, Luffy may get a new power up but, I think Oda would try & keep away from the Gear name. Sorry if this sounds mean.
-
Luffy doesn't have a fire move yet….
Everyone else is getting a fire move... why isn't Luffy?
I think gear 4 will be a Fire move!
=P
-
Although i hope there won't be a gear 4 I think that if there is one Luffy will have to go to a special island that is on a different time scale and train there for 3 years then when he leaves the island only 3 weeks have passed.

I've thought gear 4th idea since a long time, I've also portraited it into 3 pictures. here is my gear 4th version :
See this pic first
!
the basic of gear 4th is density. It means, on this stats Luffy's rubber mass get extremely denser than normal. It's so dense that Luffy's body looks overflowing(Imagine Venom or Carnage from Spiderman, something like that)
In this form :
His movement is a bit slower than normal but faster than gear 3rd…
And his power approaching gear 3rd...
His defense much more tougher than normal. general sword's slash won't hurt him at all...
His attack's stretching area is longer and faster than gear 2nd(but not invisible/instant)...
the speciality of this stat, He could even use his forehead skin to stretch and attack foe with high damage, It's all because of his dense rubber mass
The attack's names, like gear 2nd and 3rd, is accesoried with word 'Akuma' (means devil). Like "Akuma Pistol".
PIC 2
!
Like I said before, Luffy gear 4th is a stat where Luffy's body got extremely denser than normal.
This form also get speciality too. It's like Kumadori's "Seimei Kikan", an ability that allow you to freely control even the smallest part of your body, like nails or hair.
Related to Luffy, in this form Luffy not only able to stretch his usual part like hands, leg, or neck. But also his skin and hair.
how about the damage? since Luffy's rubber mass is much denser now, a single finger stretch can even make a value able damage(imagine stretching "Shigan" from rokushiki)
Now about the pic above, a usuall gomu gomu No hanabi technique(Luffy used this in Skypiea) takes only Luffy's hand and leg. But in gear 4th, His entire skin is the one who do the job. It's more like a pumping technique. and it do damages many times harder than normal Hanabi did.
PIC3
!
the pic is a simple explanation How my gear 4th version works :
Luffy's body's so dense in this form, his body looks overflowing. look at first panel(from right to left).
Since he's rubber, this overflowing mass can be pumped into any parts of his body. I'll take right hand as example. look at 2nd panel
Now his arm hold a huge ammount of mass and energy, It's REALLY heavy and the energy need to be transfered. So it exploded, but since Luffy's rubber, the explosion is mutated into a strong stretching fist. look at the last panel.
But all of the greatness always have a high price, the weakness of this form is the energy source. he maybe dead after using this form, because It will takes too much of Luffy's energy…
How do you guys think?
-
If Oda really make a gear 4th, i think it will enhance another combat feature.
Gear 2nd = Speed
Gear 3nd = StrenghtI think Gear 4 would be defence.
Vulcanisation: Making his body harder.. but unable to stretch.And Gear 5 could increase luffy's evasiness by fibrating his body at intense speed. Making him able to use the wind a bit. And being able to avoid alot atacks.*
*crappy idea
-
Looks awesome! Great job Ashura KingFisher :)
-
I think Gear 4 would be defence.
Vulcanisation: Making his body harder.. but unable to stretch.Considering that Luffys gear3 fuusen is hard isn't it possible that his bones are already vulcanised?
-
Gear 4 will be pumping up his legs to Gear 3rd, and then pumping all of that into Gear 2nd.
And if not…
That idea is still awesome.
-
Considering that Luffys gear3 fuusen is hard isn't it possible that his bones are already vulcanised?
Well, maybe it could be even harder and heavier? :ninja:
And Oda could also create a gear reverse.
In which Luffy transforms into a gianth balloon squirel, which makes everybody want to hug him.
Making the OP world a so much better place. -

How do you guys think?
THat's great and all…...and pretty damn awesome......but the question is, HOW? Gears 2 and 3 have logical explanations, but this? How does he go into this form?
Gear 4 will be pumping up his legs to Gear 3rd, and then pumping all of that into Gear 2nd.
And if not…
That idea is still awesome.
Yeah….but, that'd kill him. It would just speed him up too much, his blood would boil straight out of his skin and he'd just fall over dead.
Now if he did gear 2 and 3 just at the same time........like, gear 3'd both his arms at once, THEN did gear 2, increasing his spead to Gear 2, but having 2 giant fists? Maybe not gear 4, but it'd still be EPIC. -
Im just saying he's gonna say gear 4th with this shadow pump-up thats going on with him ;DDD
-
How about Hyberbolic time island?
-
Gear 4 will be him finding a way to break through sea-stone cages by biting through them. 'Nuff said.
-
If we ever do get a Gear 4, you can bet it will be nothing in this thread.
I'm sure someone under Oda reads letters with retarded theories on a daily basis.

@Kitsune::

Now that you mention it, I haven't think about it yet
-
I dunno if it's okay to bump this… but I'm going to
One way Luffy could achieve that wicked looking gear 4th, ... is that maybe Chopper and Ussop could make some kind of a "medicine" for him to drink that makes his rubber denser. Not sure if that could work or not...
-
I think the way to go for Luffy is something like Gearshift. You know, he can use Soru to gain a super impulse before using all the air running trough his veins to inflate his bones and go Kaboom against his foes.
-
Rumble Balls work on all Devil Fruits or just Zoans? I wanna see Luffy eat a rumble ball =( Imagine Lucci eating one? More forms :wub:

if you will look at it carefully from and mmorpg gamers point of view,
gear 2 = agility gear 3 = strength gear 4 =?All whats left is: vitality (endurance) Dexterity (long range attack) and
Intelligence (magic)Possibilities:
Dexterity
how about imitating the impact dial?
Its like, gear 2 but it only focuses on one spot to another to maximize its attack speed and power and will suddenly shoot out impacts in certain body parts like hands or feet.
Vitality
1st theory:
Super elasticy. Luffy will become so elastic that even punches will just br totaly nullified.2nd theory:
Removing of oxygen in your brain for a short period of time. If your brain lacks oxygen, it will not respond to your nervous system and thus, you will not feel any pain. The downside of this, is that you will still feel all the pain after the oxygen gets back to your brain. So you have to finish the fights faster.Intelligence
(im not very sure about this one)
Totally shut out brain. This will bring out Luffy's super human instics and will bring him out to this full potential as a killing machine. Luffy will not know what he is doing, just his body is moving on his out so its like an monster mode chopper. He will not have any pity for the living. Muhahah dark Luffy!Thats all for now. Please done flame me too much =(

I think Ashura's idea is dam cool!! Nightmare Luffy returns >=)

Not just ignoreing the pain from the nervous system but also causeing Luffy to loose consiousness, and after 3 min die?
The first theory sounds more promesing, but given some remarks in the series made by other strawhats he should already be immune to punches. Oda will have to expand some on that.Intelligence

Didn't Luffy already pull the total shut out brain trick against Enel? Think it was called "Gomu gomu no baka"…. he could dodge but he sucked at attacking.
-
@Fire Fist:
That'd be too much like how Buu would turn his opponents into chocolate.
Luffy will just turn his opponents into meat and eat them =D
-
Question, why would Luffy use Gears again, or even make more Gears? As you know… they slowly kill him, or atleast shorten his life.
-
does gear 3 affect his lifespan? i thought it was only gear 2 that did that.
-
No, it doesn't, he just turns into a smaller version of himself due to the…
Well, actually, I dunno why he can't just inflate himself with Fuusen instead of walking around for XMinutes as a dwarf.....
-
I was under the impression that any form forcing air into your internal body system weakens your capillary and artery walls and thus shortens your lifespan. Doesn't Gear 3 force lots of air into Luffy? So much so that his bones become very tough.

Well, actually, I dunno why he can't just inflate himself with Fuusen instead of walking around for XMinutes as a dwarf.....
Maybe it has to do with the fact that when he releases all that air at once, he releases too much and shrinks him down until he can re-absorb the lost air.
-
hahah what? "lost air"? good one =P

We don't really know that. I think the premise of the ability is that "bones" are already tough, and with Luffy's power everything in his body is elastic, including his bones, while preserving its toughness. So, he is just blowing wind to his bone marrows (this is really rediculous), inflating it, making the bone-enamel-to-skin distance to the minimum, and in effect making the enlarged body part as tough as the "bones" itself.
